Introduction to Programming Principles is a living catalog of fundamental software development principles collected in one place so developers can reference and teach them easily. It documents well-known concepts like SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI, and others, and explains when and why to apply them. The goal is to move principles from being fuzzy tribal knowledge to explicit, written, teachable guidelines. Because it’s on GitHub, it can evolve as the community suggests new principles, clarifications, and real-world examples. The repository is especially useful for onboarding junior developers or creating internal engineering handbooks. It also serves as a companion to code-quality projects by giving the “why” behind refactoring and architectural choices.
